                       Thursday, October 19, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Elsie Negley of Clarinda, Iowa on the occasion of her 
106th birthday. Elsie was born on July 29, 1911 in Page County, Iowa.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Elsie's life. 
Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on the 
moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Elsie has 
lived through nineteen United States Presidents and twenty-three 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Elsie in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 106th birthday. 
I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Elsie on reaching this incredible milestone, 
and in wishing her nothing but the best.

                          ____________________
